Keywords:
Personal data, Data processing, Legal basis, PrivacyAbstract
This article aims to analyze the legal basis for the processing of personal data in the Brazilian General Data Protection Law (Law n. 13.709/18). Considering the need to have a valid lawful basis in order to process personal data, it is relevant to study the possibilities established in articles 7 and 11 of the LGPD and, especially, the figures of consent and legitimate interest. Understanding the application of each legal basis is essential to ensure security in the relationships and processes carried out, as well as to avoid risks and damages to the rights and freedoms of the data subject. For this purpose, Brazilian doctrines and references on the European data protection regulation will be analyzed.
